The Washington Commanders added a quarterback at No. 223 in Athan Kaliakmanis, who displayed an 87.6 PFF Passing Grade (20th-best in CFB) with the massive frame to absorb hits and still deliver strikes down the seam. Kaliakmanis is coming off a career-best campaign where he generated 26 Big-Time Throws and a dominant 11.2-yard Average Depth of Target, proving he possesses the aggressive “gunslinger” mentality and high-level processing to operate at the next level if called upon.
In dynasty Superflex formats, Kaliakmanis should be viewed as a taxi-squad add at best as is coming into compete with Marcus Mariota and Sam Hartman for the backup role in Washington behind Jayden Daniels.

The Washington Commanders just secured a slot-specialist in Antonio Williams at No. 72, who burst onto the scene with an impressive 19.1 Breakout Age and the technical savvy to lead Clemson in receiving as a true freshman and was once considered one of the top WR in this class. Williams’ 4.41-second 40-yard dash and a massive 39.5-inch vertical proves he has the explosive juice to pair with his elite 119.6 Targeted Passer Rating and reliable hands.
Antonio Williams, for Dynasty players, lands in an area with a high-quality quarterback in Jayden Daniels and WR partner Terry McLaurin in the twilight of his career.
The Washington Commanders are looking ahead to 2026. With the playoffs out of reach, the Commanders will rest Jayden Daniels for the final 3 games.
If the season were to end today, the Commanders would have the 8th overall pick in the 1st round of the 2026 NFL Draft. A sharp criticism of the team is that they haven’t surrounded Daniels with an adequate amount of talent. In 7 games, Daniels had only QB1 performance in fantasy football. Expect an overhaul in the offseason both in free agency and the draft in order to help the franchise quarterback regain elite status.

After a gruesome elbow dislocation in a blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Commanders star quarterback Jayden Daniels is set for his return, as announced by head coach Dan Quinn.
While NFL playoffs look out of reach for the Commanders, fantasy managers are rejoicing with the opportunity to inject Daniels into their lineups as our playoff seasons approach. Daniels possesses the dual threat ability ceiling we fantasy managers are always chasing on our team. On the season Daniels has recorded 105 completions on 168 attempts for 1184 yards and eight touchdowns while adding 262 and two touchdowns on the ground. Does his return also raise the ceiling of Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuels who continued to be viable lineup options with veteran Marcus Mariota behind center.

The 3-8 Commanders will get wide receiver Terry McLaurin back. Meanwhile, their star quarterback Jayden Daniels, will miss Week 13.
While progress is being made by Daniels intimating that he may be ready for Week 14, it will be at least one more week without Daniels at the helm. This is bittersweet news for fantasy managers, but hopeful that Daniels may return as soon as next week. Early injury reports next week will be a crucial indicator for Daniels’ status next week.
